Never the type for holding back on their opinions, a host of celebrities have been weighing in on the debate, whether or not they live in Scotland and are entitled to vote.

Here are 10 stars who have shown their cards on the wee small matter of tartan independence.

Pro union: J.K. Rowling

APThe “Harry Potter” scribe, the highest-profile resident of the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh, put her money where her mouth is with a $1.6 million donation to the pro-union “Better Together” campaign.

Pro union: Mike Myers

WireImageThe Canadian-born Myers, 51, who is of Scottish descent and is best-known for playing Scots-accented green ogre “Shrek,” is opposed to a break away.

Asked on a BBC radio show how Shrek would vote in the referendum, the actor adopted his character’s distinctive voice, declaring: “Shrek wants what the will of the Scottish people want.” Then, speaking as himself, he added: “I love Scotland. I hope they remain part of Britain — and if they don’t, I still love them.”

Pro union: Emma Thompson

FilmMagicThe 55-year-old Oscar winner and voice of Queen Elinor in the Pixar film “Brave,” whose mother is Scottish, revealed that although her heart understands the “romance” of independence, her head is against it.

“Why insist on building a new border between human beings in an ever-shrinking world where we are still struggling to live alongside each other?” she told reporters at the film’s 2012 premiere.

Pro union: Susan Boyle

APThe singer has proved herself one of Scotland’s greatest exports, but she is not a nationalist and wants to stay in Great Britain.

“I am a proud, patriotic Scot, passionate about my heritage and my country,” wrote the 53-year-old this week in UK paper the Daily Mirror. “But . . . I don’t feel reassured that the change will in any way make our already great country better. ”

Pro union: Billy Connolly

Startraks PhotoThe 71-year-old former Glasgow dockworker-turned-comedian stayed out of the debate until April — he previously described the vote as a “morass that I care not to dip my toe into” — when he declared in Britain’s Radio Times: “It’s time for people to get together, not split apart. The more people stay together, the happier they’ll be . . . I don’t (have) great belief in the Union of England and Scotland. But I have a great belief in the union of the human race.”

Pro union: David Tennant

WireImageThe former “Doctor Who” actor, 43, who was born and raised in Scotland but now lives in London, says his relocation meant he had “forfeited” his right to “tell Scottish residents how to run the country.”

However, he made it clear to the UK’s Sunday Times in August that he is skeptical of independence: “Why do we want to become smaller? Surely we want to expand and look outward?”

Pro independence: Gerard Butler

WireImageThe hunky 44-year-old “300” star may have left his native Scotland for the US — but he is firmly aligning himself with the separatists.

“I can’t see why Scotland shouldn’t be independent — it has different attitudes, people and outlook,” the rugged actor is quoted as saying. We can only hope he will keep up his side of the bargain by continuing to wear kilts in Hollywood, whatever the outcome of the vote.

Pro independence: Alan Cumming

WireImageThe Manhattanite can’t place a ballot in the referendum — he permanently quit Scotland for the US in the mid 2000s (and in 2008 was awarded joint American/British citizenship) — but that hasn’t stopped him being vocal on the issue.

The 49-year-old Broadway actor made a recent last-minute trip to his homeland to bang the drum for independence, declaring on the streets of Glasgow last week: “It’s an historic moment for us all — we now have a chance in this country to have our own destiny in our own hands.”

Pro independence: Sean Connery

APNo pro-independence celebrity has been as belligerent as the 84-year-old James Bond actor, who’s a leading supporter of the Scottish National Party and has long campaigned for devolution from the UK.

Writing in March in the New Statesmen, he said: “As a Scot with a lifelong love of Scotland and the arts, I believe the opportunity of independence is too good to miss. Simply put there is no more creative an act than creating a new nation.”

Pro independence: Brian Cox

Getty ImagesThe Scottish-born “X-Men” and “Braveheart” actor is a stalwart of the “Yes Scotland” campaign and, despite now living in the US, has frequently appeared alongside pro-independence politicians.

“An independent state of Scotland will reinforce its own laws, embrace new forms of political thinking, new creeds, new political parties, and new positions of argument,” the 68-year-old star wrote on CNN.com this week.
